导出博客文章RIO DE JANEIRO -- He lost concentration at the worst possible moment. Nike Blazer Shoes For Sale . It was only a split second, yet could have cost him a spot in the finals.Henri Junghaenel told himself that if he made it to finals, he wouldnt let that happen again.The German shooter got through, then followed through.Junghaenel repeatedly shot deep into the 10-ring to open the finals Friday and went on to win the Olympic gold medal in mens 50-meter prone rifle.I was really mad at myself for that last shot (in qualifying), he said. I kind of lost focus and pretty much told myself its a new game. I have a new chance, dont do a stupid shot like that again.Junghaenel appeared in good shape toward the end of qualifying, but a final shot of 9.4 jeopardized his chance for the finals. He squeaked through by 0.5 and had four near-perfect 10.8 shots in the finals. He had just one shot below 10, a 9.9 on his 14th shot. South Koreas Kim Jonghyun gained ground late in the final, but Junghaenel hit 10.7 and 10.4 with his final two shots.Kim won the silver medal and Russians Kirill Grigoryan took the bronze.At the beginning, I was really nervous and I was happy I could make the shots work pretty well, Junghaenel said. They were really deep and the shakiness went away.Junghaenel went into the finals with confidence from two events: Winning the Rio test event in April and Barbara Engleders gold the day before.Engleder won Germanys first shooting gold in womens 3-position rifle on Thursday, taking some of the pressure off Junghaenel to break the shooting-medal ice for his country.It definitely helped that we were successful already, he said.Junghaenels journey to the top of the podium took him from Germany to Kentucky to Rio.He heard about the shooting programs at American universities through a friend and started contacting coaches there. He chose the University of Kentucky after a visit and spent four years shooting for the Wildcats, earning All-America honors each year.Junghaenel graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering in 2013 and went back to Germany to earn his masters degree, which he completed last month.In Europe, we mainly have competitions over the summer time, Junghaenel said. In the United States, you have competitions in the winter time, so it added up pretty well to gain as much competition experience as possible.Kim tied Grigoryan in the bronze-medal round and hit a perfect 10.9 to win a win shoot-off to take silver. Grigoryan hit 9.7 on his final shot to earn bronze.I didnt expect to get the silver medal, Kim said through an interpreter. I had the opportunity for bronze and I took it. Nike Blazer Sale Online . Now, with Game 6 set for Fenway Park and an 8:07 p.m. ET first pitch, the Detroit Tigers face the unenviable task of having to beat the Boston Red Sox twice, on the road, to advance to the World Series.

Colin Wilson had two goals and an assist, and Mike Fisher scored a goal and helped set up two others in the Predators 6-4 victory over the Red Wings on Monday night. Sam Davies got Wales out of jail with a last-gasp drop goal as Japan were thwarted 33-30 at the Principality Stadium.The Ospreys fly-half, who went on as a second-half substitute, struck during the closing seconds to give Wales victory.Dan Lydiate, Jamie Roberts and Sam Warburton scored tries, while wing Leigh Halfpenny kicked 15 points as Wales triumphed, yet it was a performance that lacked consistency and finesse - and almost produced a colossal upset.Japan looked a far more threatening outfit with ball in hand as wings Akihito Yamada and Kenki Fukuoka. plus substitute Amanaki Lotoahea, claimed touchdowns, with fly-half Yu Tamura adding three penalties and two conversions and centre Timothy Lafaele converting Yamadas try.Wales boss Rob Howley made 10 changes following last weekends hard-fought win against Argentina, throwing down a selection gauntlet ahead of next weeks autumn finale against struggling South Africa.But few players stood up and were counted as Wales did just enough to make it nine wins from 10 against Japan.Wales were eager to continue momentum established by a 24-20 victory over Argentina seven days ago, but they had to play second fiddle from kick-off.Tamura kicked two penalties as Japan led 6-0, with his second successful shot at goal coming after Wales full-back Liam Williams was rightly sin-binned for obstruction on Yamada.It amounted to a poor start by Wales, but they responded in the 11th minute after possession was rapidly moved wide and Lydiate touched down for his first try in Wales colours, with Halfpenny adding the conversion.Japans initial promise quickly evaporated as Wales looked to turn the screw up front, and there was little the visitors could do to halt a vibrant home attack.Inevitably, they ran out of defensive numbers, and centre Jonathan Davies half-break proved sufficient as his midfield parrtner Roberts - back on Wales duty after being dropped for the Argentina game - effortlessly finished off.

Halfpennys conversion made it 14-6, but Japan hit back strongly before the break, even if Wales gifted them a try.Fly-half Gareth Anscombe shipped possession on in midfield, but it failed to find a colleague and Yamada gathered a bouncing ball to claim his 14th try in 17 Tests, with centre Lafaeles conversion making it 14-13 at the break.Halfpenny extended Wales lead through an early second-half penalty, yet the game continued to lack any real spark, while there was no obvious indication that Howley planned any immediate replacements.Wales though, moved further ahead after 52 minutes when lock Alun Wyn Jones sprinted into space from a lineout and found Warburton on his right shoulder, with the Wales skipper finishing in style before Halfpennys conversion made it 24-13.But Japan hit back immediately through a brilliant touchdown that owed everything to slick passing and rapid handling, with Fukuoka applying a stunning finish in limited space.Tamura kicked the conversion, and Wales could not relax, having seen their advantage trimmed back to four points.Another Halfpenny penalty took Wales seven points clear, yet Japan immediately reclaimed field position and they gained a penalty that Tamura landed.The game was now nip and tuck, as another Halfpenny penalty made it 30-23, but Japan were not to be denied as Lotoahea touched down six minutes from time and Tamura brilliantly converted to make it all square.Wales pushed as the clock ticked down, and wing Alex Cuthbert knocked on with the line at his mercy, before Davies, who was winning only his second cap, came up trumps amid a frantic finale.
